I was wondering if there is enough interest to make it worthwhile arranging a convention, or meeting of Tokai owners in the UK? It would be an opportunity to meet other forum members, and if we each brought at least one Tokai (or similar) guitar, a great chance to handle the guitars we've read about but possibly never seen or played. I could bring a Springy & a Goldie, I'm sure other members can contribute many others.

Depending on the level of interest, I was thinking about maybe hiring a room for an afternoon or evening, hopefully somewhere where we could bring a couple of amps & play at moderate volume for a few hours.

The most obvious place would be somewhere in the Midlands, so it's not far from the northeners and southeners. But if enough people were prepared to travel to London, it would be much easier for me to arrange myself.

If this gets off the ground, overseas visitors will, of course, be very welcome

If anyone is interested, let me know. No dates in mind, just seeing if there's any interest.

Why not organise it in a hotel conference room so anyone travelling can book a room for the night, plus we could all have a beer or three and talk guitars after the event. You can normally get good rates on places if they are getting some room bookings.
